    World Champion Dommaraju Gukesh: As we get ready to wind down 2025, India's World No. 7 chess Grandmaster Rameshbabu Praggnanandhaa has had a great season and is looking forward to the biggest event of the next season -- the Candidates 2026 event, which will select the challenger for World Champion Dommaraju Gukesh.

    Pragg was confirmed last week by the sport's World governing body as having qualified for the Candidates through the FIDE Circuit 2025. FIDE announced that the young Grandmaster from Chennai emerged as the most successful male player from India this year, bagging titles at the Tata Steel Masters, Superbet Chess Classic Romania, UzChess Cup Masters, and London Chess Classic Open.

    "Yeah, it was good actually. Good year for me overall. I was constantly finishing first or second in most of the events, which is great. I felt my game quality was also good, so I'm happy with it. That's the important thing," Praggnanandhaa told IANS on the sidelines of the Dharavi Chess Championship 2025, organised by the Navbharat Mega Developers and the Adani Group at the District Sports Club here on Friday.
